UPON THE THRESHOLD.

Once marc We stand, with half-rcluctant feet
Upon the threshold of another year;
That lR6 where past and present seem to meet
In stranger contrast than they do elsewhere.
Look haek moment Does the prospect
pbesSe
Or does the weary heart but sigh regret,
Can recollection smile, or i'll at ease
With what il past, wish only to forget?
Say eanst thou smile when memorys lngcr-
ing gaze
Once mere recalls the dying year to sight!
Wouldst thou live DER again those changing
days.
Or hid them fade forever into mighty
A solemn question, and the fatcring heart
Scarce dare say YES yet will not quite say
.'No;"
For Joy ind sadness both have played their part
In mailing up the tale OF long ago"
Here memory sees the golden sunlight gleam
Across the path OF life and shine awhile,
And HOW the picture changes like n dream,
And soar0w aims the eyes and kills the smile.
Soft has sune-wherc all has gone before;
The moontsg wind has sung the dead years
dYgA
Times vapn roll on against the crumbling
And sAlks the worn-out bark beneath The
surge
Here ends tke checkered page OF prose and
pasea
OF shalllsiy words and lines writ awry.
There thfy must stand for better or for worse !:

mother would prefer to be unmatched.
When at last l glanced around
again, was fain to rub my eyes and
pinch myself. to wonder whether or no
/ had been dreaming. Every thing
was precisely as it had been before !
had seon the visitor enter; the door
was closed; could tell that by all ab.
sence of draught; the shadows had
settled dcnsely in the body OF the
church, the coffin with its white cover
ing looked undisturbed, and the
mourner had vanished.
No thought of ghosts or apparitions
entered my prosaic mind. and after
puzzling over the occurrence for q
moment, dismissed it and returned
to my book. l had dozed perhaps an
instant, and so been unconscious when
Mrs Wilmington went away. for that
it had been Mrs. Wilmington in the
flesh was convinced. The thought
that harm might come to her from the
exposure alone troubled me, and but
for reluctance to leave my charge
should have run over to their house to
satisfy myself of her safety.
The rest of the night was unevent-
full, and when morning dawned one OF
the neighbors came in to relieve my
watch. Before going home l sped
across the road to inquire about
Mrs. Wilmington. The window OF
her chamber opened OH the gallery
and the curtain was drawn aside.
I pceped in, not wishing to disturb
any one. By the light of the night
lamp l could see the form of Mrs.
Wilmington motionless on her bed,
with her face to the wall, and her
black hair trailing over the pillow.
The covering was pushed aside, and l
could see the soft folds of woolen
shawl around her shoulders. Mr..
Wilmington came out to me. and ill-
quired anxiously how his wife had
passed the night She had been dos
perately i'll. he said. so i'll that he and
the doctor had watched her every
breath the night through Once. at
the turn of the night, they had thought
her dying, her pulse apparently had
ceased to beat, and she had grown
cold and almost rigid. They had
wrapped warm garments around her
and worked over her an hour before
animation had been restored. She
was sleeping now, and the doctor had
given him hope.
Had they never left her9" lques-
toned. mot for a single momentv'
Certainly not lie answered, and
looked surprised.
In my amazement l came near blurt-
ing out my story; but the exhaustion
of his face and voice held me back,
and giving him q bewildered stare
shut my lips together and went away.
Aflcrward, some reason, fear Of ridi.
cule perhaps. prevented me from
alluding to the subject. and gradually
the occurrence was showed under by
subsequent events.
Since l have reached manhood, how.
ever, recollection of it has once OF
twice returned, and ! have INDUCED
in much Improbable speculations. As
l said before. have never been able
to explain tho matter to my satisfac'

Overruling a Courr

LOUISVILLE, May John j. Cornell
son. who assaulted and ~cowhided Judge
Reid, causing him to suicide, and who
was sentenced to Jail for three years, was
released to-day on a writ of habeas
corpus by Magistrate Stoter to day. The
affair has created a sensation, inasmuch as
his release mounts to a magistrates
court overruling the decision of the court
of appeals. Magistrate Stopher decides
that the old common law of England and
Virginia upon which the Imprisonment of
Corneilson was predicated does not enter
into the statutes of Kentucky, and conse-
quently the imprisonment vas illegal.
Lawyers say that Stofer has placed him
self in contempt of the court of appeals.
Corneilson is on the street attending to
business.

Thomas l.. Rosser, ex-rebel general,
breathing the free air Of one of our loyal
states for ~aspersing the characters of
loyal men who bore muskets and drew
swords in defense of their country, by a
charge Of vandalism. Referring to Ros-
ser's letter relating to Gen. Sheridan, the
resolutions say: eve urge upon the
legions of our Northern soldiery to resept
with strong and promptly expressed in
dignation to this censure Of the honor of
our army and to rebuke in tho most posi-
tive terms this arrogance of the defeated
rebel who with much unblushing pretensc
assumes the role of a conqueror.

Gladstone's Motion Rejected.

LONDON, May Gin the house of

lcnged Dillon to disprove the Times evil
dence.
Dillon-"I have offered to enter into
the charges fully before the committee. l
shall no longer exchange a lie with mem
bers of the house over them.
Henry Fowler, Liberal, said he must
decline to believe English judges infalli-
Bile, and especially when a political ques-
ton is involved. He reminded the house,
as q typical instance, of the gross must
ice done Lord Cochrance. Was a special
jury drawn from London traders, he asked,
better qua lifted to deal with the question
than a committee selected from members
of parliament? The Parnelli:es did not
desire to limit inquiry. He had a tele-
gram from Parnell stating hat he was
quite willing to extend the inquiry so as
include the forged letter published by the
Times. [Checrs.
Gladstone's motion was finally rejected
-3l7 to 233.
Redward Cloko's motion that the house
decline to treat the 7imes' publication as
a breach OF privilege was agreed to.

SCARED TO DEATH.
Victims Of the Southwestern
Earthquake.
Queen Kapialani and Suite in
Washington.
Overriding a Court--Carver
Victorious.
Scared TO Death.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ: May 6.-Cum-
bero mesa, twenty miles west of Albu-
querque IN the Atlantic & Pacific railway,
is a rugged upland occupied by countless
focks of sheep which are cared for by
herders who follow their aocks day and
night, unseen by the owners for weeks at
a stretch. On Tuesday Cuberto Gonzales,
a large sheep raiser, rode over the range
to inspect his flocks, reaching the mesa at
3:10 p. m, and climbed to the top of a
high rock to scan the country in search of
his herders. AT that moment the sky
became overcast and a low rumbling sound
seemed to approach from the southwest,
and then a slight tremble shook the rock
upon which he was perched, followed i'm
mediately by a loud report and a severe
shock which made the rock sway TO and
fro like the mast OF a ship at sea. He
was overcome by a deathly sickness which
almost caused him to fall from the rock.
Recovering, he started by the path he
had climbed. but found the rock had been
rent in twain. leaving a fssure ten feet
wide, which accounted for the report he
had heard. He managed to regain the
ground and remounting his horse rode
rapidly in search of his herders. He
found som sheep scattered and b%leating
with fright, but no herder was in sight.
A short distance further on he was horri.
fed by finding me of the men stretched
upon the ground dead. Instituting search
for the other two he found them a mile
away both dead. Their bodies bore no
marks of violence or injury of any kind
and they were scarcely cold, the fexibh
ity of their limbs indicating that death
had overtaken them all within the time
that Mr.. Gonzales had been on the mesa.
The only plausible theory that could be
formed as to the cause Of their death was
that of extreme fright caused by the ter
rible commissions of the elements which he
himself had witnessed, had killed the
three men. At the same ONE the ex-
pressions of their features which bore i'm
press of fright and terror sustained this
theory, and it is believed that these three
men were perhaps the only human vic.
TINS of the great Southwestern earth
qulke.
WASHINGTON, May 6.-The United
States geological survey has taken imme-
late action for the purpose of collecting
valuable information regarding the recent
earthquakes in Arizona.

Investigating The Union Pacific.

NEW YORK, May Elm the Union
Pacific inquiry to day James NJ. Hamm,
treasurer of the Kansas Pacific up to
1880, testified that Judge Dillon asked if
the securities accepted by the Kansas &
Pacific for Denver stock proved profta
bic. Hamm replied that every one of
them yielded an income.
Almen Goodwin, the lawyer who con-
Quoted the suit to take the Denver Pacific
stock out of the mortgage trust in 1880,
testified that he was employed by Sage
and Gould, and urged to proceed as speed
lily as possible. Sage instructed him that
the Kansas Pacific asked to have the stock
released. He and Gould were trustees,
however, and desired to have it ascer-
tanned if they had any right to do it. and
added they did not want to do it unless it
was for the best interests of the stock and
bondholders of the Kansas Pacific. The
witness consulted his partner; they exam
ined the matter and concluded it was all
right. Goodwin remembered that he
cross. examined Sidney Dillon and that
Dillon testifed that this stock was value
less and could be made worth 100000 if
certain things happened.
is it not true that within Il very few
days the things which Sage, Gould
and Dillon did with that stock resulted in
their realizing substantially $500, OOO?"
asked Anderson.
Witness had heard something to that
effect.
Albert ). Rosenbaum stated mat he
had a suit with the Union Pacific last
year. He read letters from the Union
Pacific offering him a very small price for
certain income bonds of the Denver ex-
tension and claimed that the mismanage-
ment of the road was the reason for the
depreciation of values. Rosenbaum had
been a California shipper for twenty
years. He cited among the acts of the
management, damaging to values, the Is
sulnce of a circular to shippers saying in
effect hat if they dared to ship around
the Horn their freight rates over the
Union Pacific would be doubled. This
had me effect of driving Rosenbaum out
of business.

Jefferson and wolseley.

New ORLEANS, May g. Jefferson
Davis has written a review of Gen.
Wolseley's Life of Gen. Lee" and it
will be printed in tomorrow mornings
papers. Mr.. Davis takes exception to
many OF the English generals statements
and while not finding fault with the SUI
perlative opinion of Gen. Lees military
ability expressed in the book, he shows
very plainly hat he considers Gen.
Wolscleys criticisms of other Southern
leaders unjust and understandable.
The review is written in a very caustic
style and contains interesting matter in
the way of estimates of relative value of
service OF confederate leaders.

The Result of a Street Fight,

JACKSON, Miss, May 6.-The coron-
er's jury was still engaged up t IL o'clock
to day investigating the killing of Roder-
lex Gambrell, editor of the Smord and
Shield, by Col. Jones S. Hamilton, gen
eral manager of the Gulf & Ship Island
railroad, in a difficulty occurring about 10
o'clock last night. No facts have been
developed other than hat the parties met
and began firing. A difficulty had been
feared and anticipated for some time
owing to an offensive personal article by
Gambrell concerning Hamilton in his
newspaper some weeks ago. Gambrelis
wounds, three in number, proved fatal in
a few minutes. The result Of Hamilton's
two wounds is uncertain. He now rests
comparatively easy.

There is something curious about the
way man closes up the house for the
night. A woman will secure all the
doors in ten minutes, taking down her
back hair, getting her frizzes ready for
the morning. The man Of the house
having no back hair to take down and
no frizzes to put up, spends his time in
closing up the house
He begins at the back door, locks and
bolts all the doors from that to the front
door. He then takes off his coat and
collar, by that time one of the children
wants drink of water and he has to
unlock one of the doors to get it. Ther
he locks the door carefully, goes back
and takes off his vest, winds I'D his
clock or watch as the case NAV be. His
wife suddenly calls from under the bed
clothes-it being in the winter season.
and asks him to make another exposi-
tiOn to the kitchen and see if the batter
is likely to rise in its might and over
flow the dish. He unlocks the door
and makes tour of inspection. All is
well. He removes his stockings, warns
his feet and proposes to retire. Sud-
denly he is overcome with the convic-
tion that the back door is not locked
and away he goes, barefooted over the
cold floor of the kitchen and washhouse.
BY the time he reaches the washhouse
door he is uncertain whether any of
the doors are locked and makes the
grand round again. All is secure.
He removes his pantaloons, blows
out the light and is just about to lie
down. when his wife suddenly bethinks
herself that the girl probably forgot to
put the milk can out, and away he goes
in a buff and white and flowing gar
ments.
Before he gets back to bed again he
steps on two marbles and a sharp piece
of tin which the children have left on
the floor. At last he gets between the
sheets and lays him down to pleasant
or horrible dreams-he Is not sure which
it will be.
AS Morpheus gobbles him up and is
about to carry him to the land of nod,
the brilliant thought that the servant
girl is out flashes athwart his brain,
and he gets up and unlocks the kitchen
door. In exactly one hour and eleven
minutes from the time he begins pre-
paratiOns to retire he is in bed for good
and one of the doors is still unlocked.
He says softly and solemnly to himself
that he'd be blowed if he'll udertake to
lock the doors again if robbers surround
the house four deep. But the next
night he repeats the performance, by
special request.

The UnCairness of Some laws.

Well, AZ last the Supreme Court ha.
relieved itself of its old and wormy aud
whiskered chestnut. The Dow law !.
declared constitutional in every re
spect. Neither priuciDle nor lin,
which it contains is discarded. The
Court decides that it is totus teres atque
rotuudus. In our local columns will
he found a condensation, hv sections
Of all that the law contains. Primarily

each June and December Their ex.
perience with the S.uft law was tritle
harsh. Many of them paid up prompt
lv, not wishing to exhibit themselves
as in default upon ANYTHING that thev
were supposed to owe. Then the law
was declared Unconstitutional: but, to
their surprise, they found that they
could not get their money back. When
this law was passed they were in q
quandary. 1t did not seem to them
nor to their counsel to differ materially
from the other one. If it was law they
were ready to paw, hut they did not
feel like throwing away money on a
venture which could not he pulled

should decide. The Court could easily
have decided, and ought to have decid-

management the decision was withheld
until now. AS a result, a heavy penal
ty has accrued against the saloon keep
ers in addition to their tax. To enforce
that penalty, under the circumstances,
would be an outrage; and yet it is far
from clear who has the right to remit
it. But it is the most sacred principle
of law that all wrongs have their reme-
dies, and this is unquPstionahly a
wrong. Ifno remedy can he found for
it elsewhere, it will he found at the
